I've been feeling the need to detach myself fromall of this social media stuff lately.I had a wonderful conversation with a friend over the weekendand i was reminded of how easy it isto lose focus of what really matters.Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,hashtag this and that...these things so don't matter to me.Some may feel more connected to the worldwhen they use social media - but i don'tso i'm bailing out completely for a while.I will still be blogging though - just very little of anything else.Life is calling me. :-)Solitary walks in the woods matter to me.A good coffee with a good book.An hour of painting or writing.Listening to music with my son.Face to face conversation with a good friend,like the one i had over the weekend...

If Facebook were to implode tomorrow I probably wouldn't notice until Friday, as most of the people who really matter in my life aren't on there. Just don't give up the blog, 'cause your art makes a lot of us happy :D

The Amy Winehouse sketch is superb, but I love the Leonard Cohen image, must be the hat. BTW, you may like my latest post :)

Great post, Pauline! Facebook is a huge time-sucker for me but I am a member of various Facebook art groups and I do keep in touch with family I don't see in person...due to busy lives or they're overseas. That said, I am trying to reduce my time on there because it sucks up too much of my own creative and blogging time.

Wise words, beautiful art. I routinely need to keep remembering what's truly important to me, and each time I do social media doesn't even make the top ten. I know I'm not the only one though...I think there's a whole tribe of us gathering.
